How to Make Island Style Salmon Salad

  1. Preheat grill or stovetop to medium-high heat.
  2. Season 1 pound salmon fillet with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
  3. Grill salmon for 6-8 minutes per side, or until cooked through. Alternatively, pan-sear in a lightly oiled skillet for the same amount of time.
  4. Allow salmon to cool slightly, then flake into large pieces.
  5. In a large bowl, combine the flaked salmon, 1 cup diced pineapple, 1/2 cup mandarin orange segments, 1/2 cup chopped celery, and 1/4 cup slivered almonds.
  6. Gently stir in 1/4 cup mayonnaise. Add more to taste.
  7. Refrigerate for at least 2-3 hours to allow flavors to meld. Serve chilled on a bed of lettuce leaves for a refreshing touch.
